Oh Bentley Little. You are forever a sick fuck. Every single one of his books, that I have read anyway, have ended up being a mind bender and twisted in the most extreme of ways. The Resort was no different.
Tucked away in the Arizona desert lays the Reata. The Reata seems a typical five star resort where the rich and famous go to relax their cares away during the nicer months of the desert. However, in the depths of the summer when temperatures soar, The Reata cuts their rates dramatically, giving normal folk a chance at some luxury. That's exactly why Lowell Thurman and his family decided to take their family vacation in the desert.
In typical B. Little tradition, the resort is not what it seems. There are ghosts, and phantoms, and visions, and a myriad of other fucked up situations that arise. The Thurmans' sons get caught up in the whole mess and try to do a little Scooby Doo investigating. Needless to say, their investigations do not turn out well. There is no old caretaker hiding under a sheet spooking the guests like in the cartoon. Nope, this is some real deal shit going on down at the Reata.
This book...it's messed up. But, in a good way. Bentley Little can write a page turner and I plowed through this one a day or so. Not exactly Tolstoy. However, you won't be disappointed when you put down The Resort.
Good book. Fun times. Just a little twisted.
On a side note: Bentley Little has a very limited presence on the internet. He's one of the few writer's that I have noticed that does not have his own web site. Odd. But, to each his own.
